[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 676529, member: 1550"] He has to be actively suicidal or homicidal and likely will only be kept a very short while because insurance doesn't cover much more. By 18, unless they overdose or have a detailed suicide plan or try to choke somebody, they are not able to be committed, even if they are hallucinating and desperately need the help. That's the sad reality of our mental health system. I saw a documentary that said our biggest mental health facility in the U.S. is now our jails. I would not buy an 18 year old who thinks he doesn't need to do anything a car. If he can't work, then he can't drive and have party time either. JMO. [/QUOTE]
